PAT-L MicroNIR spectrometer
Process monitoring for liquid analysis
- compact
- real time analysis
- all in one optic design
The newest instrument in the MicroNIR PAT line, the PAT-L spectrometer uses NIR (near infrared) spectrometry to perform non-destructive analysis and provides real-time results for continuous process monitoring in liquid, aqueous and organic industries. It is rugged and ultra-compact, easily integrated into industrial facilities (tanks and pipelines) and requires little maintenance. PAT-L consists of the PAT-U MicroNIR spectrometer and a customizable probe that is immersed in the liquid to be analyzed.
Advantages
Designed for regulated industries
MicroNIR PAT-L has been specifically designed to allow the analysis of liquids in the most strictly regulated industries, such as pharmaceutical/cosmetic, food and beverage, fine chemicals, and ATEX facilities. PAT-L operates without fiber optics to limit operating costs. And the tungsten lamp allows for long term use and requires no maintenance.
Customizable probe
The MicroNIR PAT-L probe is customizable, depending on
- probe material (316 L or Hastelloy C-22)
- optical path length (2, 3, 4, 5, 10 mm)
- immersion depth (100 – 900 mm)
- process connection
- removable cooling jacket
Applications
